==============================

Sweden is a large country in
northern Europe, which makes
up half of the Scandinavian
peninsula. The south is
generally flat, the north
mountainous. Summers are warm
but short, and winters are
long and cold. Dairy farming
is the predominant
agricultural activity. Only 7%
of Sweden is cultivated. About
57% of the country is covered
in forest, and the sawmill,
wood pulp and paper industries
are all of great importance.
Sweden is one of the world's
leading producers of iron ore.
Other principle industries are
engineering and electrical
goods, motor vehicles and
furniture making.
